"This is of course our busiest time of year," CEO Roger Burnley told staff.
"But it was important for us to give as many of you as possible the opportunity to spend this time with those loved ones that you may not have not seen for many months so, uniquely for this year, we will not reopen our stores until December 27th."
All 631 of the business's stores will be shut on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
